SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 429 appropriates $250.0 from the general fund to the Office of Indian Affairs for the purpose of establishing sub-offices to operate capital projects on the Navajo Nation.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $250.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2003 shall revert to the general fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS

The Office of Indian Affairs has only 10 FTE so the establishment of external sub-offices on the Navajo Nation may require at least one additional position and travel expenses to adequately supervise the function.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS

The number of offices is not specified nor are operating expenses such as rent, utilities, etc.
